I have never felt the need to spend any money on a ZPZ ticket, despite the fact I owe the old man. I am not sure why Gail is doing this, she is fully aware about the future generation of Zappa fans as yet unborn. Perhaps its just a negotiation strategy.
I believe Zappa sold his catalogue to Ryko for about $17'000'000 before he died, which in the scheme of things GZ has to invest carefully in order to perform remedial work on the tape archive, and pay her staff.
I dunno, I do not think she could be that short sighted enough to piss off the few thousand Zappa fans now in their 40's plus who saw the great man live.
The zappa forum seems to have only about 20 regulars despite thousand of 'members'
